That really does look great! About all I could do is sew on the buttons and they'd likely wind up crooked at that. Did you use a pattern of some kind or just eyeball it?
You and your wife could make some bucks making such conversions for those of us with no hint of your talents.

A very good suggestion!
Over the years, Carol and I have enjoyed the pastime of browsing thrift stores for the excitement of finding that diamond in the rock pile (which, we have). Lately, after seeing your previous thread, Mr. Dalglish, I browse the men's jackets sections very carefully looking for just the right jacket to be modified. On one or two occasions I've spotted some very good candidates. But alas, we know no tailor with the requisite skill and understanding.
If you ever consider accepting commissions, please let us know.
